[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beemerTPPC:
Good question: Currently there is code in the GPS_Switch program to avoid running it twice, but there is no code to maximize the navigator program if launched for the second time.

So there is no risk, but I think it should'nt maximize again. I'll add this to my To_Do list ;)

I'm working on the GNS protocol since ten days ago. It's not easy becaus althought the protocol is very simple, it have very few commands and that mean that the driver have to take more decisions. Also I have to add the GNS protocol to the test program. A lot of work. But it is going on ;)

It is normal. The driver sends the audio to the speaker and the OS drops the headphone icon because it is aware of it. But probably S2U2 bases its icon on the state notification API that does not change when the audio is redirected, because the headphones are already present.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darkblue68:
Very good news for GNS Protocol!

I really would like to use it with navigon!

Thanks a lot BeemerPPC!

Greats from France
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mittaa:
This situation is AFTER driver is unloaded and there should be no redirection!

When unloading driver, I would imagine that any redirection would be reversed (back to normal)?

Anyway thanks a lot - love to have TMC on my HD :)

Mittaa
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beemerTPPC:
It is done. You should receive the sounds by the headset... but I cannot restore the icon ;)

1 week more with HyperGPS

DEVICE : Polaris

ROM : 3LIT3 VI Suite Naked with a lot of software

Igo : 8.3.3.83157 - 3 April 2009

Skin : cbolumar 3.7 Beta (Not public at the moment but is the same as 3.6 with cosmetic changes)

HyperGPS : Beta1 (Beta 2 don't find tmc data)

Country : Spain-Madrid

sys.txt :

[tmc]

saved_config_available="1"

saved_config_classname="NMEA_GPSTMC_ROYALTEK"

saved_config_portname="COM"

saved_config_port="9"

auto_tuning="0"

saved_last_tuning_mode="0"

saved_config_baud="38400"

saved_last_frequency="958"

Headset : Original

ALL THE WEEK (14 days at the moment) HyperGPS WORKING WITHOUT PROBLEMS (Today i avoided two traffic jams) BUT :

Beta1 works very well , Beta2 don't work.

Is necessary to have the HyperGPS test running in the background and the TMC data information in the screen. Assign one key to igo and when you have in the test screen the TMC data , use the key to start igo.

You don't need to do anything in igo , start igo, go to the map and have in ten seconds you have traffic warnings.

Sometimes you lose the tmc signal in igo , in you put the red button you can see in you have the tmc data in the test , in this case come back to igo , in seconds the traffic information will come back.

The battery drains very fast.

For ten or more minutes you are obtaining new traffic information (RNE3 - Spain) , i don't know why i need a lot of time to obtain 7 or 8 pages of traffic warnings.

I bought the 3 in 1 connector to charge the battery, it works very bad with the headset connected and don't works at all if you connect the power.

Maybe the 3 in 1 works with the wall charger but not if you use to charge the PDA the usb-USB cable.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion:) Using Beta1 , the test program running , the sys.txt like before and with the original headset, HyperGPS works very very well , only....

- The battery drains very fast

- Is good idea to start HyperGPS and igo ten minutes before you leave your house if you want to have igo with several pages of traffic warnings when you start the trip.

I'm going to test Route66 to see the differences with igo

Regards.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] plopper:
yep, last restart of the phone is now about 5 day's ago.

after it's started i launch hypergps and activate the driver, but i don't close the program, just leave it running all the time.

saw the hint to remove the tmc stuff from the config on alpha 2, did an autodetect after that.

had the errors on closing igo untill beta 2, since then it just works.

during my work i keep switching between igo and googlemaps (sometimes i need to drive a bit, other moments i have to see how the road ahead looks like to see if i can pass).

never failed me yet.

but there is 1 but.

this version of igo shouldn't be compatible with the touch pro, as it has no support for windows mobile 6.1.

but you can manualy fix this by correcting the sys file.

6.1 accesses the card under a different name.

no idea what the old way was but the new should be "Storage Card\IGO8"

and there is an and.

what radio version are you using? (same for everyone else).

maby i'm thinking wrong but what if the radio gives some weird data causing hypergps to error when igo is closed.

then again i just came home from a 22 hour work day. lol

plop
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mare123:
on my touch pro the same. i can tune and i find some stations but igo8 says "no TMC messages"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thochisa:
I test hypergps on the diamond of my wife with igo basic without skin

and infortunately :( the same thing as my touch cruise (polaris)

found tmc hardware but not signal found

someone to help me on diamond or cruise ????

@ cbolumar

I test your method don't work on my polaris (touch cruise)

TMC signal appear few second and after don't work ????

after can find hardware TMC at the same time test hypergps running...

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Scorpie:
With Beta3, I have been able to get a channel in Holland (92.6) with TMC, but iGO says "no TMC hardware found", but I can hear the channel playing. Anybody know the problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Markinus:
hi !

its a great work!

But I've some problems on my new Diamond2.

- Beta 3 worked in Test but IGo didn't find the TMC Hardware

- Beta 1 I've to reinstall the HGPSClient Software after every restart of my device. When I try to load the drivers, there is a Message "Cannot load driver. Try installing beemercert.cab or another COM port". After reinstalling this is workong till next restart.

- Beta 1, iGo is finding the TMC Hardware but can't find the TMC-Signal on every frequency. But there are under Test the messages like: $RTTMC,8,e213,8543,8873,1458*1B

Any Ideas?

Thx!

Markinus

EDIT1: Now, the Beta 3 ist found by iGo. I've installed the Beta 1 started iGo and iGo found the TMC, then restart, deleted the GFMAPI.DLL because the installation didn't work, installed beta3. Then I've started iGo with the Parameters from Beta1 and TMC found. But now, I've the same Problem. iGo says No TMC signal. The changing of the Chanels ist very fast. 2 sekonds.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pili21181:
troubles diamond 2

hello,

first great work, but i experiences some troubles with my diamond 2

beta one work and i have rttmc 8 on hyper gps but nothing on i go, it can find the the tmc hardware but no tmc signal in automatic and same in manual.

beta 2 same as beta one

beta 3 dont work.

after many instal and uninstal the softwera now i have a warning that i can't instal the program without certification, i've tryed to reinstall beemer cert and it instal it but nothing change still impossible to instal it again.

so for now i just have nothing. all ideas are welcome.

thanks in advance.

cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevin8622:
beta 3 ? Where is this beta 3 ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Markinus:
There is a search function . . . .

page 48.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevin8622:
You're right, sorry ;)

But thank you :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fire69:
I had the same problem.

Connect your phone through ActiveSync and go to your Windows-folder.

There, you have to manually delete GFMAPI.DLL.

Now you can install the app again. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
Hi Beemer,

It's been quite some time since you post your last beta. Since then I've made some research and I found several things:

- first, as I told you several times, the radio signal strength does not show in iGO (see first pic on this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3852807&postcount=695).

- second, as you already know if the radio reception is bad or the headset is not plugged, the TMC hardware is not found when we search for it in iGO.

- third, on the second start iGO does not find the TMC hardware.

-----> After reading a log on Modaco (see first post on this page: http://www.modaco.com/content-page/287075/omniatmc-beta-2/page/240/), another one here: http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawi...lugin/TrafficMessageChannel/Royaltek_Testdata, and finaly logging what your driver send to iGO, my conclusion is: your driver does not send enough $RTRDS sentences!

I think that your fake data ($RTTMC,7) can be replaced with $RTRDS sentences that gives information on the current frequence tuned. By doing this the problem with the radio signal strength could be solved, and maybe the TMC hardware problem could also be solved.

Please tell me what you think about this idea.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
I think this would also make the auto-tuning function of iGO more reliable (or work correctly), because I notice that RDS data always seems to be detected first.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cbolumar:
HyperGPS and Route 66

I tested Route 66 v8 with HyperGPS .

It works very well with Beta 1 , obtaining traffic data faster than igo and you have all the tmc information in the screen.

You must configure Route 66 with the lacasi configuration and tune Hypergps in one frequency before the frequency providing TMC data because Route 66 start to search from your current frequency + 1 to the end .

After that you have a lot of traffic warnings in one minute.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cbolumar:
HyperGPS (TMC + GPS Data) and Igo

I tested HyperGPS beta1 with the parameter TMC+GPS Data and Igo

It works better because with this parameter IGO doesn't lose TMC signal because (I think) it detects activity all the time.

Regards.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
Yes, you're probably right!

If we does not include save_config_available=0 in sys.txt to enable the detection of the TMC hardware after each start of iGO, on the next start of iGO the hardware is detected, BUT there is no RDS data. For instance the name of the station tuned is not showed. That's because the driver does not send the $RTRDS sentence as often as it should be!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] utakurt:
Great Work - indeed! Is it possible to run HYPERGPS unter WM5 (Orbit1) - with the cab files Hypergps cannot be installed under WM5 - maybe there is a way to to this manually!

Thx 4 your help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beemerTPPC:
HyperGPS Beta 4 uploaded.

HyperGPS Beta 4 is uploaded to the first post. Please read there the news.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] seti1337:
sorry is working!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] salemh:
Thnks Beamer. First attempt was not working! I tried to run the test program (with GNS protocol) and it hangs my system (Polaris) this never happend before: I hear music but see nothing .... and the only way is to reboot.

Tried 3 times so far .. HW detection is working. but no TMC signal under the same conditions where previous betas could find it.

By the way, is the intention to redetect the HW each time or with this beta it is needed the first time only?

thnx for your great work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] milousebw:
Thanks for the beta 4, it's working like a charm :)

The driver loading is very fast.

Just one problem : I must go to the TMC Menu to retedect TMC hardware each time I start Igo.

How I can save this setting ? I write in system.ini this :

[tmc]

saved_config_available="1"

saved_config_classname="NMEA_GPSTMC_ROYALTEK"

saved_config_portname="COM"

saved_config_port="9"

auto_tuning="0"

saved_last_tuning_mode="0"

saved_last_frequency="897"

I have changed this : saved_config_available="1" with saved_config_available="0" but same thing !

I erase all "tmc" section too, but no result, I must redetect TMC Hardware but the redetection work well, in beta 3 or previous not !

Great job :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Scorpie:
I`m still having issues, also with Beta4. I can see in HyperGPS the signal coming trough on my channel, however, IGO says it cannot find any TMC hardware.

When I use hypergps, I let the driver active, close the program, start up IGO, and set the port & protocol manually. After that I use the auto-search function of IGO to detect my hardware, it doesnt find it.

What am I doing wrong? Im using port 9 btw
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Z3rO`:
Woohoow GNS support. Thanks for your hard work beemer. Unfortunately Navigon MN7 doesn't detect the TMC hardware. :(

I tuned using the Royaltek protocol, switched to gns and started navigon, then I selected gps with external TMC, set the Hypergps com port but nada.

Hope you get it going. My donation isn't far away. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Markinus:
Thx for the new version!

it's work very stable, can now start iGo many Times.

It was important for me to restart the device after the installation.

But I've the same Problem, I've to use save_config_available=0 and every time to redetect the TMC Hardware from iGo. Without it's no finding TMC-Data on the Channels.

The sound redirection is working, but first I had to go in the audio setting and 1 time change the volume and back to menu.

After this the sound is now from speaker.

Markinus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevin8622:
Test on iGO 8 with beta 4 without HGPS_Switch :

- First launch (of iGO8) : Auto detection of TMC Device works in 5/6 seconds (like beta 2)

- Second launch (of iGO8) : Likd beta2 iGO8 didn't save my settings, I had to do a new TMC Device auto detect... Once again, auto detection is very fast, TMC device is detected in few seconds and I'm ready to go on the road with TMC ;)

Goog job, it's perfect for me !

Edit : I used RoyalTek protocol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
Hi Beemer,

Here are the test results for beta4:

- GNS does not work with iGO

- speaker sound still too low

- still have to leave saved_config_available="0" in sys.txt otherwise iGO does not detect the TMC data

- no radio signal strength in iGO

- no RDS data in iGO after the second start

- auto tune seems to work better but it's slow (but that not really a problem!)

- unloading the driver takes about 16 seconds with the headset plugged in. It's much better than the first versions of the driver
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevin8622:
Is loading on booting working now ? Can I turn it On ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gongoscho:
Navigon Mobile Navigator 7.3.1 (build 137) not work with HyperGPS Beta 4!

Here are my Settings:

Detection work! (TMC output only, GNS)

With TMC + GPS (GNS) output detection not work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nakebod:
So far no luck :(

Using Royaltek as protocol.

Autodetection does not work, I have to edit the config manually.

iGo never reports a TMC signal, neither do I hear the sound output of the radio.

The HyperGPS test tool can find various channels with TMC output, so that part is working.

Also, unloading still takes up to 60 seconds here (But that can be WM 6.5)

I'm not sure if I'm using the latest version of iGo, so I can try updating iGo first.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gongoscho:
Where i can found in the config file (navigon), the tmc and what are the settings for fixed tunning?

In Navigon i hear a sound, but not the radio

Beta4 get TMC messages in the driver test mode, but hardware is not detected by Igo (same with beta3 and beta2). So, I return to beta1 that works well with HGPS_Switch on my Touch HD.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rody van Sambeek:
Cannot get this to work on an SE Xperia X1 using Smaberg's Touch X ROM. iGo cannot detect the TMC hardware. Tried all beta's, is there anybody using an X1 where it works?

TMC messages are displayed in Test mode, however iGo does not recognizes the hardware.

Also using iGo 8.3.2.83157
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OlivierTheBest:
Hello,

No TMC HW found on IGO with Royaltek protocol and HyperGPS beta 4

I have a HTC Diamond with an OEM ROM 2.03

Beta 1 works,

Beta 2, 3 & 4 don't work

Is there something I can provide to help figure out why Beta 1 works and not beta 2,3 & 4.

Beta4 on XPERIA

Just the same for me.... TMC displayed in Test Tool, but no recognition of Hardware in iGO. When I set all the settings in the system.ini I can tune in iGO, but i cant find a TMC signal.

.... i dont exactly know what was changed in the beta versions, but the last working version for me on X1 is the Alpha3.... it worked great except the speaker output.

I have exactly the same issues right now. Are you also from the Netherlands?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
@lame123, Rody van Sambeek, Scorpie, Nakebod and others with the same problem:

Try this in iGO:

- in system.ini delete the "TMC" section. It's the one beginning with [tmc]

- add saved_config_available=0 in sys.txt

- start iGO and go on the page where you can set the TMC protocol and port. Set these settings like in HyperGPS and hit the search button. Make sure you outside or somewhere with good radio reception
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rody van Sambeek:
Loki, thanks, however I tried this a couple of times and it still does not work. I will try Alpha 3 now like Lame123 suggests.

- Update: Alpha 3 works indeed! However no sound over the speaker, just through the headphones.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lame123:
Thanks for your suggestion, i tried that a couple of times, but without any success.

Another way of getting around editing the system.ini is to change the com-port every time you load the driver (start HGPS - choose com 8 - hit TMC - start igo - search TMC... NEXT TIME: start HGPS - choose com 9 - hit TMC - start igo - search TMC.... and so on ). This way you just force iGO to search for the TMC Hardware after every start.... just like editing the system.ini.

I always had the same results with these two methods.

@ Rody van Sambeek

it would be so great to have speakersound on Alpha3. Then it would be an almost working version for XPERIA :)

with Alpha3 i always start and load the driver as described above by changing the com port every time...

.... but with all the Betas (1,2,3 and 4) i can't even detect the "Hardware". No Matter what i do.

Tested a few times now with beta4: unloading takes even longer for me: almost a min.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Scorpie:
Really? Where can I find alpha 3, and what freq did you use?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SiberianTiger:
It seems that i'm stupid...

I can't run the Programm on my HTC Touch Diamond...

When i install the Programm, and set the Parameters and then i will test it, but no channel displays, and i can't search any channel under test...

So i didn't have tested it with Igo, because it doesn't work under test...

Can you help me ?

p.s Sorry for my bad english
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] salemh:
All,

I was testing hypergps from the first release ... and what I noticed is that the reception is key to get TMC working.

TO make sure that you isolate this problem try the following:

- Make use of the original speakers that acts as an antenna. I used different models and the reception varies a lot.

to test the good reception, make use of the FM Radio program in your HTC and see the reception on the side ( 3 - 4 blocks means good)

make sure you receive RDS data ... on the slected channels, check you can see the name of the station, RDS info ..etc.

Use XFMRadio for the same purpose and verify that you have TMC in your RDS data. This will be marked.

Once this is all working, start TMC driver, and start the test program, tune to a station that shows the TMC 8 messages not the 700000000.. click on set.

Now exit the test prgram and launcg iGo - detect the HW following your setting. (make use of the tips given under this thread.

you shold detect the HW ,,, now if everything went well, u should be at the same station you have selected under the test program otherwise , tune to it.

You might see: no tmc signal .. wait f or couple of seconds .. try now to tune up and down until u start see the station data ... then TMC present message.

go back and navigate ....

this is my experience with Polaris ... when I noticed that using a different head speakers have a huge impact on the reception also the location where u r ... some palces you have strong reception and some times very weak ... so it is not always the program

Good luck
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] salemh:
Beamer,

One more thing ...

Are the speed cams in the RDS .... can you extract them and add them as temperoary POI under iGo ... this would be very very cool.
